I'm afraid it won't last long without it. That's the key problem.

People hate ads, as do I, but what's the alternative?

Pay executives less. Focus on grants and PBS-style 'underwriting'. Subscription services like email and VPN.

Getting into advertising is just jumping into an intractable conflict of interest.
